[TinyOWS-users] Problems with ms4w version

[Joanne Cook]

Dear List,

I have recently installed tinyows in ms4w (3.0 beta) on both Windows XP SP3 and Windows Server 2008 R2, but I'm having a few problems getting it working. 

My config is as follows:
<tinyows online_resource="http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/tinyows"
	 schema_dir="C:\ms4w\apps\tinyows\schema">

  <pg host="***.***.***.***" user="***" password="***" dbname="***" port="***"/>

  <contact name="Test TinyOWS Server"
    	   site="http://127.0.0.1/"
   	   email="admin at localhost" />


  <layer retrievable="1"
	 prefix="test"
	 server="http://127.0.0.1/"
         name="testlayer"
         title="Test layer" />

</tinyows>


I have confirmed that my database configuration is correct and working with ogrinfo and that the user has all the correct permissions. When I try and test tinyows at the command line, it closes with a generic windows error. The apache logs show the following, which I have seen discussed in a different mail to the list:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
[Wed Nov 03 11:22:17 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Please contact the application's support team for more information.\r
[Wed Nov 03 11:22:17 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/favicon.ico
[Wed Nov 03 11:22:38 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: tinyows.exe
[Wed Nov 03 11:22:38 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Assertion failed: !o->exit, file src\\ows\\ows_error.c, line 77\r

I notice that when this happens, the config information shows up as @prefix@/ms4w/apps/tinyows/config.xml- which implies it's not picking up the drive letter correctly. If I set the TINYOWS_CONFIG_FILE and TINYOWS_SCHEMA_DIR environment variables in windows then tinyows --check works- up to a point!

My layer should be in EPSG 27700, but shows up in tinyows as an SRID of -1. If I add the srid to the layer config then this is not picked up. When I try to run http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/tinyows.exe?service=wfs&request=getcapabilities&version=1.1.0 then I get the same generic windows error as above, and the same error in the apache error log.

I don't have access to any windows compilation tools, so am unable to try the svn version to see if this problem still occurs. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Jo
